This book was created with love, intention, and the support of many hands and hearts. I am deeply grateful to my family for their patience, encouragement, and constant belief in me, even on the days when the kitchen was full and the schedule was not. Thank you to the friends, creatives, and collaborators who helped shape these pages with their time, talent, and care.
I also want to honor the farmers, growers, and food workers who make plant-based cooking possible. Your work nourishes more than bodies—it sustains communities. And to every person who has cooked along with me, shared a meal, or trusted these recipes enough to try them in your own kitchen, thank you. This book exists because of you, and it is meant to serve you with kindness.
